I’m writing to express my deep disappointment with our recent stay at your hotel. When we made the booking, there was no mention whatsoever that the property is currently a construction site. This lack of disclosure is unacceptable, especially given the premium price we paid for what was meant to be a relaxing, high-quality experience. Instead of the peaceful sea view stay we expected, we were met with constant noise, dust, and disruption. Construction work often began as early as 7:00 AM, making it impossible to rest or enjoy our time. The overall environment was noisy, messy, and far from what was advertised. To make matters worse, we paid extra for a sea view room, yet the experience was entirely overshadowed by the construction activity. When we raised our concerns with the reception, we were met with no sympathy or support, which only added to our frustration. Given the misleading nature of the listing, the level of disturbance, and the lack of customer care, we are requesting a full refund for this stay. We would not have booked this hotel had we known the actual conditions. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Check in great and efficient. Room for first bight great except for big threatening german shepherd dog on adjacent balcony. Asked for room change due to fear of dog, unable to accommodate and fairly off hand dity manager came across as dismissive of my fears and concerns. Room changed progressed following afternoon. Reat of stay fine. Building under renovation and therefore noisy (cannot be helped), bathroom cleaning needs improvement. Great location, views and most staff delightful

The hotel is very central, close to public transport, nice promenade, relaxing area ideal for walks. Staff are ok and helpful. At the back where my room was, but, they are building something and it's quite noisy from early morning. I suggest to others to take a front room.

A superb hotel and room. The balcony overlooked the sea and we were given a free bottle of wine which we sat and drank there. The breakfast included is extremely plentiful and delicious. The negative is the building work. It started very early between 6:45am and 8:30am each day. We complained only to be told that they did not start until 9am and we must have heard another firms’ building work! But it is clear that they are building on top of the curved block of rooms and a cement mixer was there each morning and a crane everyday.

Very good hotel but being on a busy seafront it was noisy at night. The lifts were rather erratic so there was a bit of a wait at times. Very well placed for the bus service.

Long wait for elevators 20min to get to main floor to check out. Employees not very knowledgeable or friendly with the exception room service who were very friendly and smiled. Main restaurant on 13th floor always closed unable to enjoy it. So sad.. Rooms rather small .. balcony (not hotels faults) gave out to much noise and construction work but hotel should have at least advised or given other options. Hotel Looks nice from outside but a little disappointing once inside.

We enjoyed the spaciousness of our room, but it lacked comforts such as a chair for each person--We had one. We enjoyed the nice size kettle for hot tea/coffee. I would have liked a desk or a table for my laptop...that area was taken up by tea center. I enjoyed sleeping on the mattress provided. My experience fell below expectations. Transportation access on the other hand was exemplary. Lots of buses to Valetta plus H-on H-off buses stopped right there. Lots of dining variety all around. The buffet is well regarded. When we were there, the building was surrounded with noisy construction projects. Many guests were discomforted by all the noise. I just think Preluna could do better as far as improving comfort in their rooms.

The hotel is under construction and we were not made aware of this by anyone prior to our stay. We booked 7 months in advance and our room wasn’t ready the first night. We stayed in a windowless room that had bugs and a horrible shower/sink/bathroom. The bed and linens were atrocious. One top sheet, horrible pillows. Scratchy sheets and there was sand in the bed our first night , when it should have been freshly cleaned. The pool was across the street and not clean nor updated. The spa is down the street, around the corner. Nothing is connected to the actual hotel. Construction started every morning (except Sunday) at 7am. It was horrible and we did not get a good night’s sleep during our whole stay. I’m usually a very positive person, I am not one to write negative reviews - this experience needed to be documented to let others know. The staff were nice, but had no ability to help us. We had to move rooms the second day, to the room type we actually booked. They said our room would be ready at 2pm. We show up at 2pm; we were not allowed into the room until 2:45pm. We had an event at 4:00pm and it was very hectic to get ready / move our bags/ unpack/ etc. I’m really disappointed with our stay. We have stayed at a different hotel in St. Paul’s Bay last year that was rated 3 stars and it was wildly nicer than this hotel.
